NCT ID NCT07162064

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 22 times

Summary

This study tested whether giving a blood thinner (heparin) during a brain scan through the wrist can prevent the wrist artery from closing up afterward. It involved 440 adults who had a recent stroke and needed this scan. The goal was to see if heparin is both effective and safe, especially regarding bleeding risks.
